Interesting comical sci-fi with significant topic for this century, but also cliché theme for a sci-fi movie. Robots, and their effort to take over the human race.

Anyway, nicely processed in sense of cinematography. Really liked the close-ups and subsequent facial expressions of our protagonists. From an aesthetic point of view I think appealing movie. Stunning, not affraid to say. Mastered staging of particular scenes, what gave us the impression of the future. Also nice colorgriding.

What I found bit odd in story part were relationships between the characters. I mean it wouldn't be that weird if it ended as it was developing the whole time. Especially in case of two main protagonists. But I take it with the grain of salt as it's comedy and many things were exaggerated anyway, what I consider as normal, even bright and significant thing in such a movie.

I really liked the performances of ones playing robots. The evil robot reminded me of good old days with robocop. It was interesting seeing robots as if divided into two camps. One helping people and willing to act and even be as humans, and the other taking over the humans and basically controlling people(we could saw some disturbing pictures really).

The fact, that whole movie was situated in one household, just raised the tension. So it was creatively made up in this aspect. I also liked note that Apple Macintosh(computer from 80s) is ultra old-school and the boy's historical ignorance of certain things. Another thing I want to appreciate is ingenuity of characters in insulation and threat situation(frozen clothes, car breaking the glass, utilizing dog outside to pull the lever, etc.).

Overall, it fulfilled the purpose in my case as I was entertained. But I wouldn't watch it again eventually. By that, I don't want to discourage you from watching the movie. Quite the contrary. Go watch it and make your own opinion. As I have said, it's rather good.
